NLP - The 4th Level

The JEBB Model

A logical approach to understanding human behaviour

Background
The Frog Syndrome
“There is a quasi-scientific fable that if you can get a frog to sit quietly in a saucepan of cold water, and if you then raise the temperature of the water very slowly and smoothly so that there is no moment marked to be the moment at which the frog should jump, he will never jump. He will get boiled. Is the human species changing its own environment with slowly increasing pollution and rotting its mind with slowly deteriorating religion and education in such a saucepan?”

Gregory Bateson

1. Education

Bandler has written his ultimate book for teachers - or has he?

Bandler and Woodsmall from the early days declared that NLP was extremely important for the education of our children - fifty years later NLP is seen as a pseudo science and not part of main stream education - what happened?

1. His book is like an academic tome. Bandler is into the science and this book reflects it.
2.Teachers need fast access to NLP not a book to study. How come Bandler has not recognised the needs of his reader. Jordan Petereson did the same thing with his best seller - they won't get read!

Teachers are a funny bunch. NLP will need to be presented matching where they are coming from not where NLPers are coming from.

1. Don't tell them what to do, give them a new perspective, move them into a new success model
1. Enlighten them on the conscious and the unconscious
2. Explain MoW and Logical Levels to create the model of individuality
3. Format a learning process - outcome - state - value - rep' systems - memory model - repetition

Background
Teaching Background

The team leader was qualified as a Secondary Specialist Maths teacher in 1975. Over the next 30 years he taught in secondary, junior, special schools and secure units. Alway he was confused by the lack of intellectual thinking by the staff. Heads were into politics and general teachers just wanted to get through the day. Only one head teacher impressed.

The answer to how do pupils learn would be answered by a description of how the lesson content was delivered. Of course there were some good caring teachers but generally minds fixed in their own thinking.

It is important that we understand the thinking in order to be able to present NLP based ideas at a level that will make sense to teachers. As with most human behaviour the participants have difficulty seeing the facts which leaves little information to work with in the brain; sensory acuity is limited.

 

To serve education best we need to raise our game, we need to do our homework.

2. Medicine

Patients in hospital experience stress.

Trance/meditation audios reflecting the conjunction of body and mind

1. Before surgery or a procedure - aim to relax and induce confidence in a good outcome
2. Induce brain to help with healing - listened to before sleep - on waking

Staff deserve knowledge of good people skills

A support app to provide some basic useful NLP

1. Sensory acuity to notice unconscious state cues
2. Rapport skills to lead patients into different states
3. Many NHS staff are foreigners new to UK society and culture and could do with some hints to reduce cultural differences

Background
Hospital Experience

The team has personal experience of a child  treated for Leukemia, a hip replacement and catarac surgery.

The NHS staff in all instances were exceptional and highly focussed on each patient as an individual. Although all had very good people skills there was sense that they were unsure of what they were doing. We think we could give them a framework whereby their confidence and effectiveness can be increased.

Staff cultural differences are noticed by them and they try hard to avoid any awkwardness; they want to learn.

3. Jordan Peterson

Instagram – 7.7m followers, 77,000 active

YouTube – 7m+ subscribers, ave 300,000 views per video

The Canadian psychologist and YouTube phenomena - the young want answers

With over 7.5m followers he gained the attention of Gen Z and Millenials searching for an anwser to what is happening in life; who they are, what is life about.

1. NLP can provide one of the best answers for them
2. If we could influence them and give them better thinking, questioning and communications skills the world could be a better place

These 20 to 30+ generation deserve better answers than they are being given

A support app to provide some basic useful NLP

1. Peterson doesn't supply good answers
2. His book is not an easy read, small type and too many pages

Background
Jordan Peterson

In a troubled world where people are actively searching for inner peace and personal understanding the followers of Peterson are an obvious marketplace for NLP. Not the NLP of Tony Robbins with his hyper performance and high costs but a more practical way to give people the experience that core NLP offers.

This would not so much be teelling them hatt to find but lead them through a series of exercises which takes them to a personal realisation of the way people think and communicate. In a similar way to that used by the founders to document the science.

We are already in possesion of appropriate mobile app software.We need to select the exercises and the information around them.

4. PTSD

PTSD is experienced by many more people than just military people

Although Pucelic wraps his treatment up in a story format we believe that a more direct approach could be just as effective

1. Using switches in the unconscious as taught in core NLP
2. collapse the unconscious anchors. The experience is remembered but without the kinesthetics

An approach that bypasses the need to recover bad feelings, just a hint

Sensory acuity skills are paramount here

1. Sensory acuity to notice unconscious state cues and be able to anchor without the need for the full experience
2. Excellent rapport skills are essential to be able to monitor the internal states of the client

Background
PTSD

PTSD is crying out for developing an NLP approach. An approach that can be tried out for most cases of PTSD.

We can say this because the approach we develop will use the unconscious to provide the clues to change and is very free of content. In clean therapy the client should not have to experience, talk about or otherwise engage in the experience of going into a PTSD attack.

To be able to perform this intervention the NLPer will need outstanding sensory acuity and rapport skills, an understanding of light trance states and then a toolkit of 'swish', 'anchors', 'perceptual positions' and 'submodalities'.  Judging at which time to use which and in what amount is crucial.

We will put together the manual for how to do this so that it can be taught to anybody with a general knowledge of NLP.

Those familiar with Pucelik will know that he wraps his PTSD change skills around content; taking the client through a story in some way relevant to them. We like to hold in our minds Bandler's saying - "there is no content in content worth knowing".

A final thought... if you get involved we will take you through a training programme to highten the core skills you need.

5. Depression

think, mental work, man-272677.jpg

Depression is a growing global problem.

The lack of ethical leadership, honest media and a social media prescence lacking in substance it is not surpriosing that people are getting depressed - there is little to feed the soul.

1. Perhaps it is difficult to get depressed if a person has little mental flexibility. The cleverer you are the easier it is to get depressed?
2. Today's global issues and the ability to be influenced by them minute by minute through the internet may also be a new problem for the mind. It used to be possible to just be religious in order to put ones mind in a trance like state to ignore the problems. But now it is more obvious that religion doesn't work, the evidence is building that there are no gods. That comfort blanket is being pulled out from under people's feet.
3. A useful solution from us could help the planet considerably

Background
Depression

The experience of depression is one of the senses closing down as if a dimmer switch has been turned dow on anything of importance.

At the core is an inability to access any ideas of the future. Timeline wise this is like there is only a dim light on right now and past and future is in the dark. With this comes  a very limited experience of what is valuable. No values have any level of kinesthetic that stimulate action or thought. A depressed person can know they are in it but can see no way out. Can see no way out in their brain even if they can think of family they are dissociated from any feelings around them. Without feelings there is no point in anything.

Taking an understanding of this we aim to format a process to use with a depressed person that reflects the experience they are actually having. The target is to solve the problem in one session!

I found out that my next door neighbour for months had got up in the morning and after breakfast just sat in her chair crying for the rest of the day.

There was no reason for this. She had a loving partner, no financial, health or family problems.

In two very short sessions whatever was causing it had gone. No stories or history had been gone into just the ability to notice the unconscious signals har brain was giving out and then the rapport skill to have her go through a swish process and collapse anchors.

6. Childhood Cancer

In the UK everyday 5 children are diagnosed with cancer - worldwide the numbers are horrific

Having mental strategies for both parents and the children to use has been proven to work.

1. The child needs to know that their mum and dad are positive and are going to fight the problem with the child.
2. The parent needs to be given an outline strategy as soon as possible after diagnosis. Parents will be in a state of shock with high emotions and medical information overload.

We have a good start on this project

1. Website for the child to make their personalised superhero poster
2.Six areas, treatment, new rooms, equipment etc where different states are defined
3.Six characters, the Scratchy Gang , for attaching to each state and possibly used in stories for aiding recovery

Background
Childhood cancer

A four year old son went from having a strange rash and being taken to A&E to being rushed on a 100mph 8o mile  dash to the UK's leading childhood cancer hospital.

Before a procedure during the next few days the child pulled his mum down to him and asked her "is it going to hurt?"

At that point she new she had to become a "Bad Ass Mum". She and her son went into battle mode with strategies for handling all the procedures, chemo, hair falling out etc.

The result was that the son became the controller of his responses. Nurses and doctors were astonished with his attitude, bravery and interest in everything. He was put forward for the UK National WellChild Awards and won.

The presentation was done by Meghan and Harry and six months later the mother had a private telephone conversation with Meghan to talk about mum stress.

Modelling the strategy mum and child used is another area we want to cover.

7. Autism - SEN

WP-icon-up-arrow-2
family, baby, crawling-1237701.jpg

According to the World Health Organisation, around 1% of the world’s population has autism spectrum disorder – over 75,000,000 people. 

Approximately 2.5% of children (175,000) in the UK are believed to have a learning disability. 4m children younger than 18 have learning disabilities in the United States.

Autism is an area where we think there are great opportunities to use NLP to help.

Our suggestion is that if parents can learn core NLP skills and models they will be able to start to map how their children mentally processing.

1. Many parents are highly stressed by their child's behaviour
2. They get advice and help but very little help at the level that NLP can offer

We have already mapped out how we would tackle the problem

Over the past two years we have built the app to accomodate teaching parents NLP

1. We have the website
2. We have the app
3. We need to format the exercise programme for the parents to follow

Background
Autism and SEN

Here is a thought - parents of 'normal' children go through life only having to respond to the education system and the feedback they get from it. They may buy some private coaching or extra books. They may take extra time in evenings helping them to do home work but they will be pretty sure that at the end of the day their child will leave education, find an appropriate job, find a partner and start their own family. And many will say "I just want them to be happy". 

The autistic parent on the other hand has the behaviour of their child not fitting the 'norm' and the long term prognosis that they may not be able to handle the world after they (the parent) has gone. That is a devestating thought.

Autism covers a very wide range of behaviours and abilities. It is a fascinating area of human study but suffers from the narrow view of the professionals.

What we do know is that the autistics brain is very similar to everybody elses; there is no major difference. This means that as NLPers we should be able to model how a child is thinking and provide some changes that will take place at the neurological level and help autistics to think more clearly and have more choices.

But what we are suggesting is an app that teaches the parent to ahve the sensory acuity skills and rapport skills with a basic knowledge of rep systems and states so that the parent can start 'reading' their child's processing patterns and the choose some interventions to see if they work.

8. Student Anxiety

Students experience stress.

Often away from home for the first time and in a very different academic system the college or uni students often experience self doubt and anxiety

1. New social skills are needed, self organisation and time management needed
2. The responsibility is put much more on the individual

Inspiring a new confidence through self understanding and self belief

Adapting the NLP model

1. Has to be fast and fun to fit a student's busy life
2. Can be presented as games to play in social situations
3. Personal assessment process to appreciate the start point and make end point targets
4. Backed by meditations and mini trances for state change

Background
Students

This area has been researched for the past two years by a UK university student.

Anxiety is a widespread problem and its causes are many. From fear of failure to peer pressure and money worries.

And then there is the overwhelming concern of failure of the course.
